Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 17 (ANI): BJP MP Ravi Kishan on Sunday, met and consoled the family members of two workers from Gorakhpur who were killed in the tragic fire incident in Kuwait.
The deceased, identified as Angad Gupta (48) and Jairam Gupta (38) of Gorakhpur, had been working in the Gulf country for nearly a decade. They returned to work after staying with their families a few months ago.
Kishan first met the family of Angad Gupta and Jairam Gupta.

“Family members of these two deceased have met with a big disaster. I stand with both of these families. I am now the son of both of these families. If the people of Gorakhpur face any kind of trouble anywhere in the world, I feel very sad. Standing with the family members in such an hour of grief, I feel like a son to this family,” he told reporters.
Nearly four dozen people, including 45 Indians, died in a fire at a labour accommodation in Kuwait’s Mangaf on June 12.
The mortal remains of the deceased arrived in Uttar Pradesh last week.
